Chargrilled Lamb Cutlets with Oregano and Hot Feta Dressing

Chargrilled Lamb Cutlets with Oregano and Hot Feta DressingServes 6Level of Difficulty: moderatePreparation 10 minutes + 1 hour marinating timeCooking 20 minutesNote: You could use a boneless leg of lamb for this recipe. Brown the leg on all sides in an oven proof pan. Finish cooking in a 375F oven for 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes prior to carving.

Instructions:Score the fat of the lamb with a sharp knife, and then cut into cutlets. Mix 100ml of the oil with lemon, vinegar, garlic and half the oregano in a ceramic dish. Season with pepper, add the lamb and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water just until tender, then drain, place in a bowl and toss with a little olive oil. Add the frisee and toss gently to wilt. Season lightly and set aside in a warm place.

Remove the cutlets from the marinade and drain off any excess. Season with salt and cook under a hot grill for 1-2 minutes on each side. Alternatively you can bbq the cutlets 1-2 minutes per side or you can grill them on a hot grill pan.

To make the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients in a shallow saucepan. Add the olives, remaining oregano and feta. Stir gently over a medium heat to warm through.

Place the potatoes and frisee on plates and top with the lamb. Spoon over the hot feta dressing.
